Re: attach document to e mail

This too started happening to me sometime in the last week or so. I am running Vista and using Chrome for a browser. I can forward emails with attachments, but can't attach new documents. I did install the "Attach" plug-in (drag & drop) thingy a long while back. It worked until recently. Now I can't attach anything. I can work around it by sending me the attachment via gmail, but this is clunky and inconvenient. I'd love a resolution!

Re: attach document to e mail

I'm having the same problem using Windows 7 and the latest Firefox program. You can attach things by hitting "try again" and then "switch" but it's a major pain. This started happening to me a couple of weeks ago then everything was working as normal and then it started again.

Re: attach document to e mail

Are using the new ATT/Yahoo mail?

You need to try and attach a document first. Then after you get the error saying "file(s) can't be sent" then click "try again" a new window will pop up apologizing giving you the option of "cancel" "retry & "switch". Click switch and then go back and attach. This has been working for me. MAJOR PIA and I really hope this is fixed soon.

Re: attach document to e mail

Fabulous, ubsbob!

I was using Try Again on the document icon and not in the control line above it. The one above does perform as you describe. And yes it is a **, but better than what I've been doing which required more work. And yes I'm using the new mail.

Re: attach document to e mail

Same problem here. For the last couple or three days, clicking the Attach link at the bottom of the new message window and selecting a file returns a "file can't be sent" message (in red). If I then click "Try again", "Switch" and "Attach" at the top of the message window, I can successfully attach the file. It's been my experience that this glitch happens periodically. It doesn't work properly for a little while (a few days, maybe a week or so) and then all of the sudden it's back to working normally again. Since I know the work around, it's not that big of a problem for me. It's just an annoyance.
